The new squad icons have a major bug which could potentially kill a server…
When the tags are put on an enemy player/commander they are visible on the map even when they swap map, stealth or die. This allows you to tactically track their movement and either use the information to avoid them and capture everything, or track down and kill them without any problems.
This could kill a server who does not know about this exploit as they cannot compete.
This needs a hotfix now, or just disable squad icons in WvW

The fix for this is in testing and should be in an upcoming release.
